Summary
[edit]DescriptionFalling to pieces - geograph.org.uk - 1769900.jpg |
English: Falling to pieces. What appears to be an unused, abandoned and overgrown area > 1769886 adjoining Kiln Lane in the west turns out to be a WWII camp site on closer inspection, with many of the buildings still in place, albeit in a very derelict condition. The Nissen huts (or Quonset houses, as Americans call them) > 1769894 used to be home to airmen of the 100th Bomb Group. There used to be some seventy such sites spread across East Anglia, which for two years during World War II had become launch pads for USAAF's bombing raids into occupied Europe. Each airfield was home to 2000-3000 airmen, most of them volunteers. These sites became known as 'The Fields of Little America' - this is one of them. The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, dedicated to the USAAF's famous 'Bloody Hundredth' Bomb Group of WWII, is housed in the original airfield control tower > 1779828 near Thorpe Abbotts: http://www.100bgmus.org.uk/default.aspx |
